I’ve never understood why people even ask questions like that. How could having a building with offices and desks and chairs and bandwidth and phones and and and and… scale any better than letting the same people work in an environment where they are comfortable and is setup to make them as productive as possible. Sure, not everyone is built to be a WFH employee, but it seems to me that it would scale much better as long as you have the right people.

I worked for one of the major bankers over 3 years ago as a systems programmer. I had earned 3 days a week telecommuting from home, avoiding a 2+ hourly commute per day; this was due to my demonstration of commitment by working production oncall up to 24 hours straight.

After back surgery, I attempted to return to my preexisting schedule, only to be denied. As the surgery revealed degenerative disc disease, I could no longer drive the distance and ended up on long term disability. I was forcefully retired 24 months after surgery, never having the opportunity to return to active employment.

It would be awesome to learn a little bit more about how you guys specifically use P2. My team is using it, but we’re using Basecamp as well (for project management, task tracking, etc.). We enjoy Basecamp, but it’s overkill more often than not. Are there some clues the Automattic team can share about tracking tasks with P2?

I’m here in Indonesia also running this kind of office environment, which I believe will safe me a lot in daily expenses and monthly office space rent. Also like Matt, I can hire a lot of good talents without worrying a lot where in the soil they resides. Good choice nowadays. And we are planning to go public in the next 2-3 years from now, all without any physical office.
